To aZZ whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE H. BAKKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Lavatory Appliances, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to lavatory appliances, and has particular reference to a novel combined washstand and bathtub.

ln many instances it has been found de sirable in situations where space is limited, to install a combined wash-stand and bathtub, the stand being superposed on the tub.l the same fluid-supply connections being used rfor both receptacles and both receptacles using the same waste outlet. A further advantage in this construction is in the economy effected in plumbing costs. A particular advantage in the location of the water supply faucet at a point considerably above the plane of the top of the tub is in that the user may, While sitting in the tub, direct Huid on his person or for the purpose of washing the hair.

My invention has for its principal object the provision of a specific form of connection between the tub and superposed washbasin. .lt will be understood, of course, that a preferable construction is one in which the wash-basin is superposed at the proper height on the tub, therebeing an open space between the basin and the tub. This is more sanitary in that it provides for ventilation and permitsv cleaning as required. lrVhen such basin is superposed on standards on the tub the water supply and waste conduits must, in addition, be eX- tended above the tub. This makes a somewhat unsightly construction and is not in every way satisfactory. l have conceived the idea of employing the standards or supports for thebasin as the fiuid supply conduits, and my invention is broadly for such construction. i l

The invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which* Figure 1 is a side elevation of a tub and superposed wash-basin1 a portion` of the tub and basin being broken away, and Fig. 2 is a plan view.

Referring more particularly to the draw-y of usual construction, havinga top flange 11, waste outlet 12, and overiiow outlet 13.

The waste outlet terminates in a .T 14.- communicating with a conduit 15, to the upper end of which is connected a T 16 intov which.

Mounted above the tub is a wash-basin 17 havinga waste outlet 18, and an overflow outlet 19. The wastevand overflow outlets terminate in a T 20 which communicatesv with a T 16 by tube 21. 'l' 2O rests securely yon theilange 11 of the tub, andy through the overflowconduit 19 provides a support for one side of the Waslrbasin 17. Water supply conduits 22 kare directed to the appliance, these tubes extending to a point beneath the flange 11 and projecting therethrough into a further hollow standard or tube 23, being securely held by means of a nut 21. These hollow standards 23 arek capped by a specialyangle 25 having an apertured ear 26 extending therefrom. This ear cooperates with an-apertured lug 27 integral with the wash-basin 17,` a bolt 29 be-i` ing passed through the apertures to hold the parts in proper relation. Av further conduit 29 extends from the angle 25 and terminates in the special faucet 30. The faucet has two outlets 31, 32, the former directing fluid into the wash-basin and the latter into the tub. Suitable valves 33 control the supply of hot and cold fluid, whereas a further valve 34 servesv to direct the Huid into either of the receptacles. It will be noted that the tube 21 carrying the waste 4from the basin 17 is extended down through the T l16 and conduit 15, terminating at a point just below the waste outlet `12 of the tub. This obviates the possibility of waste from the basin running into the tub. By this arrangement, the basin is properly supported, water `and waste connections are provided, and the device is made sightly and sanitary. v f l It will be obvious'that the speciiic arrangement herein shown might be changed, all without departing from the spirit of my invention. a

I claim:

1. In a lavatory appliance, the combination of a tub and a superposed wash basin, supports for said basin, one or more of said supports being hollow and acting as con-v duits for supplying `liquid to said basin, substantially as described.

60 the overfiow'outlet 13 of the tub is directed.,` v l 2. 'n a lavatory appliance, the conibinameans foi' supplying liquid to and dischargtion of a tub and a superposed Wash-basin, ing the saine from said basin, said basin be- L means for supplying hot and cold water to ing snppoited on the supply and discharge said basin, said basin being supported on conduits, substantially as descibed.
